Gardening, anyone?

Since we are going hopefully sell the house and leave the East Coast this year, no going to plant a garden. However, to my indoor mini jungle I have added two devil’s ivy, a philodendron that’s vining like nuts and a lemon button fern

Planning on changing my garden furniture. We want rattan, specifically this set: https://www.gardencentreshopping.co.uk/sapcote-mini-modular-corner-natural-rattan
Do any of you have rattan, or have you had it? Is it a good investment?0 -
Rebuilding my mini-jungle as I had to leave my plants behind when we moved. I bought a new pothos plant which I named for my late older sister. Hoping to add more in time. Maybe I will drop a hint for a plant or two for my birthday in November

@MagicalBean, I finished MG training in NorCal a few years ago! Maybe the same year!
Anyone still here? I mostly do edible gardening, but do some Mediterranean stuff just because.

@shrinkrap59 I pop in occasionally to this thread. Work and other responsibilities keep me from posting much these days, but here are a few spring flowers (Hellebores, Primula and Lungwort) from my flower beds:
I hope these brighten someone’s day like they do for me.

Thank you for that! Those are beautiful, and I appreciate you taking the time to check in.
My hellebores are finished but this Cymbidium orchid is in bloom. A co-worker gave me some of here's about 25 years ago and I keep it outside where it blooms more often than not!

Beautiful orchid! Wish I could grow those outside in PA! 😊

Thought I was losing my recently transplanted Pothos, but it looks like its rebounding from the shock of being re-potted.

Just moved a couple of plants around in the house and this morning on the spider plant (named it Mary for my late patenal Grandma) I moved from the kitchen to another area has a baby on it! It was the second plant I got here when we moved here.
My other plants are Polly (pothos), Tillie (pothos), Shelly (my baby pothos), Eileen (dracena) and Aletha (Christmas cactus). Named them all for my late sis, my maternal grandmother, my favorite niece, and my dad's sister and my late bestie.

I saw a list of easy to grow from seed flowers and have it in my purse for the next time I’m where seeds are sold. I’m going to sneak them into corners in the yard.

Wren that's great. And with luck they will be varieties that will reseed and come back for years.
I'm trying to cut back on my gardening. I tend to enjoy it too much and then hurt alot. Friends think I should stop all together. Booo

Thanks Mommy of3. I hope too. Just broke my ankle and after sitting idle 1.5 yrs I'm out of shape for gardening. It will hurt indeed. There are some chair/floor exercises I must do.
In WI here. Only got 6" fresh snow with the blizzard. Garden will have to wait.

Happy spring all!

I have started pepper and tomato seedlings, garlic, shallots, and peas are up. Also, I am taking the third of three classes toward my Horticultural Therapy certification! There might be some near you that can help connect you to plants when help would be helpful.

Looks like a good start to a garden, and in containers. I don't do containers well and can't do vegetables here. Too much wildlife. I've been mostly into prairie/wildflower plantings (which the deer eat too) and fear I won't be able to weed much anymore. I was just dx with osteoporosis and it is recommended that you limit lifting heavy stuff, twisting and bending. Can take over a year to improve. Yikes.

I need some advice. I live in the Dallas Texas area and I have a small fenced patio. My HOA wants our plants to stay below the top of the 4-foot high fence. Everything died when I went through treatment. I tried to simplify life by having stones and decomposed granite installed in the beds and the tiny grassy area. Now I have so much trouble with weeds growing in the granite. I’ve tried using 30% vinegar to keep them at bay, but with no greenery at all, the area looks so bleak. When I lived in California I had a plant I think was called alyssum growing between the pavers. It doesn’t seem to like the Texas heat. What could I plant between the paver stones that stays low and can take the heat of Texas summers? It doesn’t have to flower but it would be nice.

I had good luck with verbena in Houston. It spreads and could cover the area
